There's also Plato's Cave.

Maybe, but I also think Dick was very well-read and probably was familiar with Plato's analogy of the cave if not Descartes as well.
I don't think we can blame Dick's schizophrenia on having read The Cave.
I think you would have been closer to the truth if you had blamed it on the guilt he carried from having murdered his twin sister in utero.
